Kelch mansion is an architectural monument. It was constructed in 1858-59 (architect A.K. Kolman) for I.E. Kondoyanaki, the facade was decorated in the Neo-Baroque style. In 1896 the Kelch's acquired the mansion and redecorated the dining room with dark oak paneling in the Neo-Gothic style. The architect Carl Schmid, a cousin of Faberge, assisted the Kelchs with the remodeling. In 1898, when the refurbishment was complete, his wife Varvara moved into their St. Petersburg home. The main facade was faced with sandstone and is designed in the traditions of the French Renaissance, the facade overlooking the courtyard and outbuildings represent a refined stylization of the Gothic style. The interior decor features different historic styles: the front staircase with arcades - the Renaissance style, the sitting room - the Rococo, dining-room with stained-glass windows - the Gothic style. The building is a striking example of late Eclecticism.
Today halls of the mansion are opened for conferences, presentations and business meetings.
